        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Duffy has broken her silence nearly a month after revealing to fans that <strong>she was held captive, drugged and raped.</strong></p><p>The 35-year-old singer, known for her 2008 hit song “Mercy,” said that she is feeling “freer” and will be putting out a new song to lift spirits amid the coronavirus pandemic.</p><p>In what appears to be a letter written to English radio DJ Jo Whiley, Duffy <strong>wrote on Instagram</strong>, “Hi Jo (Whiley), Hope you are well and keeping safe. Wanted to send you this to play on the radio, if you want.”</p><p>She continued, “Universal Music &amp; no one knows I am doing this. They won’t be mad, they are lovely people. So here’s a song … here’s ‘Something Beautiful.’ It’s just something for you to play people on radio during these troubling times, if you like the song of course. If it lifts spirits.”</p><p>Duffy furthered that she would not be releasing the song but thought it would be nice for people on lockdown to hear.</p><p>She also added that while she initially said she would be doing an interview about her horrific sexual assault, she has been unable to follow through so far.</p><p>“You may have read the words I wrote a few weeks back, I do feel freer,” she wrote. “Tried to follow up with a spoken interview, but it’s harder than I thought, I will follow up in writing soon.”</p><p>In February, Duffy revealed on Instagram that she had been drugged, raped and held captive.</p><p>“Many of you wonder what happened to me, where did I disappear to and why,” she wrote on Instagram at the time in a post that has since been deleted. “The truth is, and please trust me I am ok and safe now, I was raped and drugged and held captive over some days. Of course I survived.”</p><p>She added, “The recovery took time. There’s no light way to say it. But I can tell you in the last decade, the thousands and thousands of days I committed to wanting to feel the sunshine in my heart again, the sun does now shine.”</p>]]></content:encoded>
